The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 433: Doubt
“Artaurus?” Balmond's voice trembled as he stared at his son who had been in a state of madness for thousands of years. He tried various ways to make his son recover and he even asked for the help of many famous healers and alchemists. However, they all came to the same conclusion. Artaurus had no hope of recovery.
Artaurus' condition was the biggest regret of his life and Balmond even almost gave up.
Seeing that his son had now recovered, this formidable Demon Emperor could barely hold back his tears from falling. If not for the presence of others here, he would definitely have sobbed.
With a huge leap, Balmond arrived in front of Artaurus. He held onto his son's shoulder and examined Artaurus' body using spiritual perception.
The raging spiritual energy was no longer there and even Artaurus' physical condition seemed to be increasing at a visible speed.
Balmond was stunned upon seeing this sight. What kind of magical Array Formation is a Soul Stabilizing Array Formation? Wait for. Didn't he just meet Jiu Shen a few hours ago? Then does that mean this fellow is able to create a godly Array Formation in just an hour?! That's ridiculous!
“Grandwoman Jiu Shen, is Artaurus okay now?” Balmond looked at the young man with a respectful look. How many secrets does this person hide? Aside from being a great expert and a high-level Alchemist, this fellow also showed that he was a capable Array Formation Maker! Don't tell me when he mentioned that he could refine the Dual Empress's weapon, he was actually telling the truth?!
Jiu Shen shrugged with a lazy expression on his face. “You yourself have seen his body, right? Do you see anything wrong with him? Why are you asking such stupid questions? Oh, true! You can tell her what happened because I don't have time to explain to her. . Also, hurry back to the park. There are some spiritual plants that will soon bear fruit. You should help Yue Bo gather it. All right, I gotta go now. See you.”
He did not even give Balmond a chance to speak as he disappeared in just the blink of an eye…
The Demon Emperor could only stare at the empty space with a blank look.
“Your Majesty, who is that brash human being? He actually dared to speak like that in front of you. We should behead a human like him!” Artaurus' words blew his daydream and he immediately shot a sharp glare towards his son.
“! Don't talk like that to Wine Master Jiu Shen! Are you tired of living again!? I even thickened my face to beg him just to help you recover!” Balmond restored his emperor's demeanor and immediately scolded Artaurus, making Artaurus shrink his neck in fear.
Balmond sighed as he looked at the confusion written all over Artaurus' face. He then proceeded to tell his clueless son about what had happened. Balmond told me everything from the beginning, from how Artaurus suddenly went crazy and started attacking people, when Balmond had no choice but to seal his cultivation and imprison him in a hidden dungeon, to this day.
Artaurus' eyes became dazed as he listened to his father. He could not believe that so many things had happened since that day. And when he heard that thousands of years had passed, Artaurus could not help feeling hopeless. His youth had been spent without him even having the chance to enjoy it. It was also the most ideal time for him to create a solid foundation for his future cultivation path. Unfortunately, he could not turn back time.
Balmond sighed and shook his head when he saw the look of despair on Artaurus' face. A genius child actually experienced a devastating event. That's really sorry…
“Does that mean my future achievements will be mediocre?” Artaurus muttered with a blank expression on his face.
Balmond was speechless when he heard his son's words, but then he suddenly recalled Jiu Shen's words back then.
“From what Wine Master Jiu Shen told me, you have the heavenly Body of the Berserk Spirit. This type of physique is special, but I don't know what it is. However, Wine Master Jiu Shen is the one who helped him. He should know how you can make up for the time you have wasted!” Balmond became excited the more he spoke. He then held her son's shoulder and told her.
“Artaurus, you can come with me later to the lotus building. Your body is special, so our Bloodfallen Family technique is no match for you, but you still have a chance if we plead to Wine Master Jiu Shen.” Balmond said. In fact, he felt ashamed to face Jiu Shen now that he had already asked for too much help from the man. Now, he even planned to ask for her help again, but he really did not have anyone else he could go to. Only Jiu Shen was able to help Artaurus now.
“Daddy, is that guy really impressive?” Artaurus stared at Balmond's almost fanatical gaze with doubt. He still had prejudices about humans because they had long been enemies of the Devil Race. Artaurus also remembers that his father hated seeing humans, so it was quite surprising to see him so respectful of the race he used to hate.
Balmond glared at Artaurus and lightly hit his son on the head. Although he did not dare to add too much strength because Artaurus had just recovered. Still, it tripped Artaurus.
“That man has already surpassed the Void God Realm! I'm not even sure how strong he is right now, but I'm sure no one else in Nuar can match him! Even creatures in those ancient times might have had to grovel under his feet! Whaddya think? Is he impressive or not?”
Hearing his father's exaggerated words, Artaurus could only nod his head while keeping his doubts to himself.
